The November Record(s) o’ the Month have been sacked, racked, and shoved down your filthy chimney. Pray you left cookies and hobo wine out for AMG and Steel!
Record o’ the Month
Record’s o’ the Month – October 2025
The October Record(s) o’ the Month arrive just in time to take to your office holiday party! It’s a power move.
Record(s) o’ the Month – August 2025
I said last month (well, last week, but who’s counting) that everything had been leading to that point. That’s true, because I was so stoked to make Calva Louise the Record o’ the Month for July in a somewhat relevant fashion that I did a mad dash to get that out in before they were off to their tour in the USA. And then I was left there, feeling empty. I had worked so hard. I had come so far. But in the end, I wondered if it really even mattered.
Record(s) o’ the Month – March 2025
The March Record(s) o’ the Month are stale but nutritious. Take all you want, but experience all you take.
Record(s) o’ the Month – February 2025
“2025 is rolling along at a disturbingly brisk pace, and because of this (and through no fault of our own), we find ourselves a few months behind with our Record(s) o’ the Month pieces.” Note that AMG uses “we” when failing and “I” when succeeding.
Record(s) o’ the Month – January 2025
The tradition at Angry Metal Guy has been the strong start to the year where, like so many people with New Year’s Resolutions, you stick with ’em for a while, and then they taper off, sliding later and later as the year goes on. But this year, even the dopamine kick of listing everything in some kind of ranking order and getting lots of positive feedback from readers didn’t help me shake my funk. Yet, I have dragged myself out of funk in order to make a minimal effort for the greater good. APPRECIATE ME!
Record(s) o’ the Month – November 2024
The November Record(s) o’ the Month are somewhat timely. This is the only present you’ll be getting from AMG this year. HUMBUG!
Record(s) o’ the Month – October 2024
Mere weeks remain before the big holiday events befall us. Of course, I’m speaking about the AMG Listurnalia, but yeah, Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Year’s are coming too. Before these festive occasions distract us, we must churn out several belated Record(s) o’ the Month features because running them in 2025 would be really tacky. And so we come to the now distant month of October and the fruits it bore us. Eat well, but save room for figgy pudding!
Record(s) o’ the Month – August 2024
August of 2024 was a pretty good month. First, it marked my return from the Injured Reserve, where I’d been nursing a high ego sprain and nagging executive dysfunction issues. These aren’t perfectly fixed, but being back on the field has shown beyond a doubt that I’m still a force to be reckoned with. Second, August of 2024 was a particularly fecund month for potential Records o’ the Month. That surprised me.
Record(s) o’ the Month – July 2024
The middle of summer is rarely the best time for the metal release schedule. While there have been some notable July releases over the years, it seems like labels tend to fit their highest-profile releases into the Autumn. Still, for July of 2024, there was a slate of solid recommendations from the staff and readers, making this one of those months when it’s both good and hard to be the king.
